Do you have a type?

Definitely. I used to be all about the blondes, then it was long hair, then funny yet shaved and now it is uber tall dark and douchey. Sigh.0

The only correlation I can think of is brunette and tall.
My roots are brunette, does that count?

Has to have a job and a car. And breathing.
If he could also have dark hair and a killer smile that would only help his case.0 -
I definitely have a type when it comes to physical attributes. Clean-cut Midwestern-born white boys with blue eyes. They get me every time...lol
When you first meet these guys...clean-cut, blonde hair, blue eyes....do you rely on their accent to clue you in to where they were born? What if he was born in CA but moved to the Midwest as a young boy? Is that a deal-breaker? Just curious....I don't think I could ever list a birth place as something that makes someone more attractive to me.
OK, I lied...thick Irish accents will get me every time.
I have the same type for the clean cut midwestern white boys and I can tell they are midwestern by how they carry themselves usually.0 -

The ONLY reason I sponsored a poor kid in Central America was because the girl selling sponsorships door to door had an Irish accent. I guess I just wanted to hear her talk.
5 years later I'm still paying for it :grumble:

I just went to North Carolina in September and I noticed a big difference between the Midwest and the East Coast in terms of attitudes and such. As my friend put it "you don't appreciate Minnesota Nice until you leave."0 -

You would probably hate New England then. I always thought the people in the South are so friendly......anything south of Maryland I consider the "nice South"
My ex husband was from Arkansas and shen his parents came to visit, they HATED it here and commented numerous times on how unfriendly the people here are. Kind of sad, actually, but I never realized it, until I went to visit other places.....0 -
Charismatic, intelligent, erudite, a strong sense of the ridiculous... and usually around 6 foot, dark hair and light eyes seems to be what I usually go for, though the physical does vary somewhat, whilst the character elements do not. Often far, far 'cooler' than I am (why is it that intelligence and strong personality in men usually translates as 'cool', but more often than not is seen as a negative in women??). Nice broad shoulders and appealing forearms/hands don't hurt either.

Would "The Wrong" be concidered a type?
If so, that's what I pick lol0 -

Maybe it's just me, but sometimes intelligence and strong personality in a woman usually translates to sheer arrogance, not 'cool'. That's why (as you said in your post), it's seen as a huge negative in woman.0 -
I wonder why I continually attract *kitten* holes. Really. Why bother asking me out if you are going to be an *kitten*.0

I really should clarify and say upper-midwest like from MN, WI, MI, IA, upper IL. The kind of guy that during the week will put on a suit but on the weekend has his camping/hunting gear ready. Hard working, reserved but not conservative, talks at an even pace, usually straight forward but sometimes passive agressive. Non-flashy down to earth.0 -

No way! I am from Indiana and the people are very nice down here (NC), in their own sort of way!
Although I suppose if you come from a rural community, that would make sense.0 -

:huh: The point I was making is that strong personality and intelligence in a male often translates into 'cool' (despite leading to arrogance equally, or possibly even more, often in men ie. women do not have a monopoly on arrogance), whilst these traits, viewed overwhelmingly positively in men, are often viewed negatively in a woman. Why do you think that is?0 -

Going back to the discussion in a previous thread of Mike's, i'd say its often down to the recipient being intimidated, and therefore labeling calm confidence (based on their knowledge of their own intelligence) as arrogance.0 -

Sounds credible to me...0 -
Physically, no. I just like obnoxious guys.0

I have a preference but it's not a deal breaker. I'm a sucker for straight blue-black hair, the longer the better. I like them tall, dark, and handsome, too. How original is that?0

My debate coach always told us girls that we had to walk a fine line between being seen as a pushover, or being seen as a "b*tch". We had to be aware of who our judge was and how they tended to vote. It is something that I eventually mastered (and utilize in my everyday life, just not with repeat offenders on internet forums apparently :laugh: ). It's a remnant of prejudice, and prejudice stems from ignorance and fear.
That being said, a strong and confident confident person won't be intimidated by another strong and confident person. Those types tend to attract each other.0
